Class 2

Our PIrate Ship in the reading area to read pirate books! Shiver me timbers!Welcome to Class 2  2024-25

Mrs Taylor and Mrs Merrill are looking forward to welcoming you back to their classroom. 

Summer 2 2025

I hope that you have all had a lovely half term break. The flowers are looking so bright and colourful around the school grounds. Thank you to all who brought some bedding plants in.

This half term is full of fun and learning. Land Ahoy! is the Topic with the children learning about Pirates; writing Sea Shanties and Pirate descriptions. Also in science we will visit our wonderful Forest for a super Forest School activity. Let's hope the sunshine shines for us!

Our Religious Education this Summer term is Dialogue and Encounter

Our Religious Education learning is now Branch 6 Dialogue and Encounter. Here is our display with some children's work. We have spent prayerful times here.

Class 2 Planted vegetable seeds in Spring and now we are enjoying watching them grow! 

Runner Beans! Peapods! and Carrots! We can't wait to harvest them and munch away! 

Handwriting

In order to make the transition to cursive (joined) handwriting easier later on in school, we have moved to precursive handwriting in Year 1. This will allow the children to see where the letters join together and also allows the pencil to flow more freely without coming off the paper. 

Year 2 will move onto cursive writing when they are confident with their letter joins.

 

TOP TIP 

Reading

Read with and to your children. Listen to them read regularly as this helps their confidence and their writing too. Read different books: Stories, Fact books, comics, cards and letters.   

 

Buy your child a small notebook and a pencil. They can write in it, describing all the things that you do together or things that they have done with their friends. A fun resource and can encourage an interest in writing. 

Seesaw

Our class is going to be using an online tool called Seesaw, it’s a secure online learning journal where children can create and upload their work to document their learning.

Your child will add things like photos, videos, worksheets, drawings and voice recordings to their Seesaw journal.

Seesaw journals are private and only accessible by the teacher, students, and parents.  

 

 

 

Physical Education  - PE lessons will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays: On Tuesday it is delivered by the Lancashire sports partnership. All children must wear suitable clothing.
